I’m a film editor with 16+ years of experience shaping story-driven work across documentary, television, cinema, streaming, and social content. My editorial approach blends cinematic pacing with a strong journalistic instinct—helping complex material land with clarity, emotion, and narrative momentum. Over the years I’ve edited everything from fast-turnaround news pieces on location to longform films, and I’m comfortable taking projects from early structure and story development through to picture lock and delivery. My work has received multiple awards, including Best Editing at the Paladino D’oro Sports Film Festival (Palermo, December 2025). I’d be glad to share work samples—just tell me what kind of project you’re planning, and I’ll send the most relevant examples.

Hi, I’m a video editor and director with a background in film, photography, and sound. I work on projects that require more than just cutting — I shape visual material with a sense of rhythm, emotion and storytelling. I focus on: - Documentary and narrative formats - Music, dance, and performance-based content - Art-driven short-form video and social media pieces As a director, I’ve led creative video concepts from idea to final cut — even when I’m editing someone else’s material, I approach it with a broader artistic eye and attention to detail. I’m fluent in English, German, Spanish, French, and Russian, and I often work on cross-cultural projects. If you're looking for a collaborator who can edit with a strong sense of storytelling, I’d love to work together.
